During cellular damage or cell death, nucleosomes are released into circulation, either actively or passively. Once released, nucleosomes can become immunogenic entities through various mechanisms. The nucleosomal proteins in nucleosomes, called histones, play a pivotal role in inducing immunogenicity. However, intact nucleosomes are more immunogenic than the histones alone, as nucleosomal double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) enhances its immunogenic potential. Our recent study has shown that circulating histones are predominantly nucleosomal histones rather than free histones. Consequently, circulating histones primarily function as integral parts of circulating nucleosomes rather than acting independently. Circulating nucleosomes and their associated histones are implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide array of diseases. Notably, they are critical in the pathogenesis of lung injury and sepsis. These diseases have high morbidity and mortality rates and lack early diagnostic biomarkers. Further investigation is required to fully elucidate the role of circulating nucleosomes and their associated histones in disease processes.

Luteolin, a flavonoid derived from natural plants, has emerged as a promising focus in both IBD and CRC research due to its multi-target therapeutic potential. This article reviews the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways through which luteolin regulates immune cell differentiation, mitigates inflammation and oxidative stress, modulates gut microbiota, and restores intestinal mucosal barrier function in IBD. In the context of CRC, luteolin demonstrates significant anti-tumor effects by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and suppressing cell migration and invasion. Notably, luteolin has demonstrated significant improvements in IBD symptoms by influencing the differentiation of T cell subsets, decreasing the expression of inflammatory mediators, activating antioxidant pathways, and enhancing the structure of gut microbiota. Furthermore, advancements in formulation technology, such as the use of polymer micelles and responsive nanoparticles, have greatly improved the bioavailability and efficacy of luteolin. However, further investigation is needed to address the bioavailability and potential toxicity of luteolin, particularly in the critical transition from IBD to CRC.
